Naah no-one will hate you for it, at least I won't. I know that when time comes you'll finish it and it will be worth the wait and then some. Cheers, Elko

Hey guys, Well here's the last update, well actually a downdate on this build of the ISD. I started working on a new build of the ISD since my son spilled a glass of cola on the first one, the textures became realy abstract and free for any interpretation but it didn't look exactly acurate...

Just to let you guys know that I'm still around. I know I'm not around much lately but it's just that my health is going a bit south at the moment. The meds help but not much, there are going to be some more tests, scans etc. to see if surgery might be worth the risks involved. They'll have to...

My ISD will be 65cm long, I just print it on A4 format paper but I need to scale the sheets down to 25% for them to fit. I enlarged the sheets first making it easier to edit the textures and colors to my personal prefference. I'm sorry that I haven't given any update yet but my health is realy...

I looked it up on the internet for the english name for it. It's called horton's neuralgia, some of my nerves are damaged resulting in cluster headaches. Sometimes but rarely it also affects my motoric nerves, then my joints are painfull when I use some force. Just something I have to live...

It is something I have to live with. The doctors can't realy do anything about it but pain controll. Once awhile my my body acts up and get incredible headaches. It mostly takes a couple days and then the meds kick in. After that I need a day or two to recouperate, that is where I am now...

Sorry guys but my health is taking the better part of me at the moment. I will update as soon as the meds start kicking in. Elko

This is a very nice model and your build is fantastic. When I saw this model on the internet I was impressed by it and watching you build it is great to watch. It's great to see a build thread by an experienced builder, it looks so easy but I know now that getting a crisp build takes quite some...

This is realy comming along nicely. I love the pics with the textures it makes the model more....alive :) You're realy creating something special that many people will love to get their hands on, I know I do !! Personaly the first Viper from the TOS is my favourite, propably to do something...

I was hoping to build some more on the ISD but my pc monitor broke down. Because you need a monitor on your pc to see what you're doing I couldn't make the next prints so nothing to build :cry: I got a new monitor now, a very nice 24inch flatscreen instead of my old 21inch CRT and I'm gonna...

I'm thrilled to see where this is going, out of this world build and then with moving parts, man you're good !!! :thumb: Cheers, Elko

I don't know about that, maybe I just haven't got the patience for this particular craft. I'll just stick to cutting and glueing, I do have the patience for that and I love doing it :) Nonetheless I'm very impressed by what you do :thumb: Cheers, Elko

I've got so many ideas in my head for this model, I just hope I can make them all work. It's gonna be a build that takes quite some time if everything is gonna work out but I hope in the end it will be a model I can be sattisfied about. The foldout is near perfect, just a couple adjustments are...

Rogerio, here you are !!! I realy must browse thrue the different sections of the forum more. I was allready wondering what you were up to since I didn't see any new build-thread popping up. Wow man, just wow, you're actualy pulling this off. 3D modeling I mean. Not that I didn't believe you...

Those are very nice gestures from the both of you :thumb: Your cockpit is gonna look absolutely great with those textures and I have no doubt you will put them right were they belong. This is going to be a real marvelous Viper. Great work. Cheers, Elko

Here's the next update. I had a very busy weekend so didn't get around building but I was home early today from work and was able to do some more work on the first layer of the top half hull. The first layer is as good as finished and I can start with the second layer that will heighten the...

I have taken a look at it but I don't think I'm gonna do it that way. I'll make a nice stand for it though, I've got just the place for it in my study on a large shelf. The website or thread you linked to is very nice for some greebling ideas !! Cheers, Elko

Yes it's a great build and model. I agree with you and want to build it to sometime, it's just the "sometime" part that's in the way with so many great models out there. Cheers, Elko PS Typing this on a tablet, took me ten minutes.....ugh.

Fantastic man !!! It looks great and not so hard to build either. I love the scales your making these models in, not to big and deffinatly not to small either :) I'm glad you're getting over the flue, you can feel pretty misserable when you're under the weather. Take time to recouperate...

Thanks Steve for your reply, this is realy going to be awesome. I loved the games (besides the ending of ME-3) and the Normandy has become an icon in the Mass Effect world. My buildlist is growing by the week, so many fantastic models being made and I still make some new finds on the internet...
